Except Node.js doesn't have a proper stdlib. Big difference.

Everything I've needed has always been a `require()` or `npm add` away.

That's my point - not in the stdlib if you have to `npm add`. It's not just the libs you import that are affected. Npm is arguably the size it is because the libraries it contains are not written against a stdlib. Certainly not front-end JS libs. That has a quality effect on the whole ecosystem.
